Treasure Cave

[Moderator]

VGsatomi: Approved. Well made map with good terrain attention to detail. Long gameplay.

 

[super-panda]

Impressive and innovative map.
We liked it much, but my toughs for upgrading it should be that there should have different entrances, to enable more replayability.
But the challenges are great, I would be very enthusiasmic if you should add more ways and starts.
But outstanding anyway.

 

[Andriejj]

Top-class map, it should be a hosted project, seriously. One of the few maps, along with Against the Darkness, where I voted 10.

The thing I would like more would be some decisions to make earlier in the game- so that those 6(or more) possible endings don't start so late. Currently, you have to play a big part of the map over and over again, same way in all games.

 

[Nudl9]

This map definatly deserved a 10!
Good looking terrain, good story, good gameplay, fun!

 

[No.47]

I know only 3/6 endings (( Can someone describe all the 6 endings here ? or make a youtube videoclip plz :/

 

[Weeny]

One of The best map i have ever played! 10/10

 

[Night_Gob]

Nice map although we didnt manage to complete it

I just have some suggestions. edit trade of gold to 1 gold each click, and add some more tips an example is at the start we had no idea there was any explosions

 

[Pooppyhead]

Hey thanks for the nice comments and I'm glad many of you like it so much. I was hoping to make a decent, slower paced adventure game akin to those point and clicks games where'd you had to be pretty observant and had to figure out what the hell to do next.

Also many of the triggers were just random tricks and weird things I wanted to just put in the map. And most of those were one time use triggers that I thought would be cool or funny.

I was also inspired by metroid games like metriod prime and super metriod on how those games flowed and how the story worked.

I don't think I'll make maps for anytime soon, Maybe until starcraft 2 comes out. I have a few starcraft BW maps but this one is defiantly one of my favs.

Oh and if you're curious about how to get the 6 or so endings...

you lose all your lives- bad
you escape w/o facing boss- also bad
face the boss and don't escape- not good
face the boss and escape- normal
face last boss with all journal entries- good
face last boss with all journal entries all artifacts and all ancient treasures- ultimate ending

If you do get the ultimate ending then thats just the best kind of complement you can give me. Anyways Thanks for playing this Map people. Enjoy.

Foundry, foundry.... And feedback!

Hey!

This is one of the favourite maps i've played! (10/10)

For now, i'm stuck on foundry, anyone who has passed that, plz tell what is the right system. Always it says me: Incorrect

Still, this is perfect map, i extremely liked frog shooting

Make more these maps, i've played only 2 of these kind maps: this, and one map on a campaign. These maps are most needed, these see so seldom.

P.S. Help with my problem plz

 

[Spellbound]

2 Stone, 1 Copper and 3 Gold
This should help you with the foundry problem if you haven't already figured it out.

 

[Code Lyoko]

Too late!

... I solved that foundry.... weeks ago... maybe a little late

 

[UnholyDobry]

Cool map u coud add some custom models and stuff!

Cool map u coud add some custom models and stuff!

I agree! These are one of my favourite maps! I've seen... only 2 maps like this, but this is still the best of them!

 

[Pooppyhead]

Hey if anyone has played a map like this, point it out, I'll love to play em.

 

[Code Lyoko]

Yep I agree with you.

 

[Mr.100]

I played it now too it was fun and cool buuut.. I didn't even get past the second place the one with the fountains and the Glaive girl statues Didn't understand anything only the red god can get salvation

 

[Tleno]

This map is so good , that you could create a new game, not just a map!

 

[AzN_StoRm]

Uh

Does the golem do anything?
And does the gate south of him open? D:<

Great map though. Love the adventure.

 

[Pooppyhead]

mr.100

Try looking around the 1st area namely near the ship. It has something to help you get by.

Azn_storm

yes the golem has a treasure. It is a pattern you gotta figure out. There are clues in one of the rooms.
The door south of him does indeed open. You need to figure out what to do in the rooms west of it and bring along the bloody heart with you. If you already figured out the bloody heart then look for clues!

Anyways glad you guys seem to enjoy it.

 

[Darkness32]

what do you do with the coin and where do you find the 2nd ability i got stuck there before i 100% finish the game..

 

[BioDiablo]

I'm really lost as what to do in the very end… the situation is as it follows:
————————————————

• 30/30 treasures found
• 4/4 artifacts found
• 6/6 journal entries found

————————————————
Items in posession:

1. Skull Rod 2/3 charges
2. Blue Mushroom
3. Food Scraps
4. Vault Key
5. Pearl of Tides
6. Digger Gloves
7. Ghost Stone

————————————————

Rock Spire - how to get past it if it is necessary at all?
"Black Gate" - how to get past those?

All in all nice map although sailing away without solving everything to the end is like going away without saying "good bye".

 

[Mufanza]

BioDiablo, sorry if my reply is late
****SPOILERS****
You can open the Black Gate with Black Shard, you can find that item when you search dead body south of golem (that golem you can control)
****END OF SPOILERS****

Anyway, I am aslo clueness now :C I have the crown and all the items BioDiablo had, and still don't know how to continue. What am I supposed to do with that red stone?

 

[BioDiablo]

Well I actually PMed to Pooppyhead directly and he answered, so yeah, your reply is late. On the bright side - I can give an answer to you what to do with crown (just go and use it in front of throne). HF ^^

 

[Mufanza]

okay then, and thanks for answer ^^

 

[shroomman]

Is there only one hero class?
I wasn't able to get threw the first door... (what the f... are you supposed to do with the cannon ball, didn't find any hints...
But the artwork is realy nice on this map.

 

[UnholyDobry]

cannon ball can be used later to get something from naga statue cant remember played it long time ago and u go thru first door bu finding foot swich neer it.

If you are playing alone then carrying cannon ball in the inventory and stepping onto the switch that you can find will be enough to open the doors. If you are playing multiplayer then just get someone else to step on the switch together with you.

 

[Carrigage]

This is an excellent map! I give it 3/5 though, simply due to the fact that the third room with all the switches is incredibly annoying and keeps getting me stuck so I cant get back again, or just stuck in the water...

Terrain is well made, the puzzles are incredibly original and fun to do. And for the most part, simple logic applies to most things, making it easy to figure out what to do, if you have the patience to actually think.

 

[toomasb]

Simply awesome

 

[Agarwa3n]

5/5 just that

 

[cedi]

Good Work! I like the map.

cedi

 

[Psf_Kurt]

Gotta say this, sry in advance for the bad word

FUCKING NICE MAP!
i finally found all treasures and artifacts, was really cool.

please make more maps

 

[yakonshus]

Incredible awesome genius masterpiece of a map! Me and my friend spent around 2 hours playing it, and finishing it! We managed to defeat the Red God with 20 treasures found and 3 artifacts found. This map offers some of the greatest challenges and the greatest stories any warcraft map ever had. A little scary sometimes in fact I am a little sad we didnt got the 4. artifact, if i quess right it is the one inside the room behind the rock pillars. We didnt find a way to get through those.
GREAT MAP! 5/5

 

[Lewp]

Rock Spire

Hello, Lewp here, new member and fan of Treasure Cave. I've completed most everything, except getting past the Rock Spire in the campsite. If this is possible I would greatly appreciate your reply, thanks.

Edit: A few minutes after this post, my group completed the ultimate ending. The Rock Spire was cleared in the end, and the mystery solved. This was my fourth or so time playing it, and everything was revealed. Better every play, awesome map!

 

[Belgarath]

Treasure Map is an incredibly made map with a long gameplay, brain-challenging amount of things to do, backtracking, a wonderful story and an epic end. The whole thing has you clinging on, wanting more, even more so the proper end. The challenges in the map are awesome, not TOO hard but definitely not easy. In the end - we managed to have 30 treasures and all artifacts, we were definitely rather pleased. The terrain throughout the whole map is amazing, just right, fitting, everywhere very well done, a part of the map that had a lot of thought put into it.
I actually think the map deserves a DC. 5/5.

 

[Hugget Sukker]

Yo Pooppyhead. Really, really fun map. I've only played it single, and that's a bit hard though. It brings me a lot of nostalgia. A good, slow-paced game, yet with some action, grand exploration and riddle-solving. Perfect mixture, and well-done with unfolding a mysterious background plot!
It seems quite meticulous work for a Warcraft map. I agree that it's always more fun to have multiple sollutions for these games, but I think I'm gonna play this one again anyway. It's like there's a lot you don't necesarilly discover the first time you play it.

I give you 4/5. A couple things could have been done better. I recommend you base the Check ability off an ability that doesn't require you to click somewhere. I tried to mod your map for fun, and based it on Summon Water Elemental instead, just summoning your Check unit instead. In my opinion it feels a lot better to just be able examine the area around you.
In singleplayer, inventory space gets quite scarce, and feels like the monsters that you have to get past are simply too powerful, until you plant the Life Plant ofcourse that is. Inventory space is just the usual hurdle. I have enjoyed it thx! Haven't seen a lot of such maps, so I'm planning on making another one in this genre.

Oh, yeah, and you really want more when you're done. Could be cool with a kind of sequel... maybe.

 

[Nordmar]

Really good map. Played it a few times but never reached the end :<
How can I pass the 2 southern bridges? There are 4 biests. I always died there.

At the start I found a curved stick, what is it for?

if you have the red key, look around the area where the hole in the wall is and you should find a door there. then just figure out the rest

 

[Zoran]

killed golem what then

 

[Newominus]

Duncan's Journal 1
What was wrong with it? A spelling error! The word "exsistes" is incorrect.

 

[Rangerdeaths]

Fucking great map. Amazing. 6/5.
But i didnt find the 4th artefact xD (have cloack, blade and band).

 

[Pooppyhead]

You have to do a little back tracking with the cloak. check around the earlier areas and try to get every treasure for a sweet ending .

 

[CNoh433]

Really great map! Maybe one of the best I've ever played! Great terrain, great story and really good gameplay.
But I would appreciate it, if there would be a possibility to get a tip for situations you're stuck and don't know what to do next...
Nevertheless 10/10

 

[Exys]

There is a Duncan's Journal 6 ?

 

[vAnKaTa_G.G.]

Will try it and post a review later.

EDIT:
The promised review:

---

Pros:

[+] Very long game
[+] Very good puzzles
[+] Hard but addicting and fun
[+] Terrain is good
[+] Didn't find any bugs that have any influence in the game
[+] Many endings

---

Neutral:

[=] Not much replay value. But the endings and the long game cover it up.
[=] The blink-like spell made the game easier. But the fact that you have to find it covers it up.

---

Cons:
I liked mostly everything in the game.

---

Very good and challenging game
Deserves a 5/5

 

[Exys]

Where is the walking stick please ?

 

[vAnKaTa_G.G.]

Spoiler

Walking stick is near the entrance of the cave

 

[Exys]

Before the 1st door ?

 

[vAnKaTa_G.G.]

Bigger Spoiler :D

Yes. Behind some trees.
